THE NEW YORK MEDICAL BOARD DOES NOT YET OFFER AN APPLICATION FOR THIS PATHWAY.
New York law provides that the Board can grant limited permits for qualifying IMGs that: “Fulfill all requirements for a physician license except those relating to the examination and citizenship or permanent residence in the U.S.; are ECFMG certified or “passed an examination satisfactory to the Board; and have a non-immigration visa for the continuation of medical study.
Permittees are authorized to practice medicine under the supervision of a licensed physician and only in a public, voluntary, or proprietary hospital. Limited permits are valid for two years and may be renewed for up to two additional years if NYSED’s Office of the Professions receives written evidence of progress toward licensure and justifying cause for renewal.
Limited permits may not be extended beyond four years of practice. Applicants for a limited permit must meet the same educational requirements as those applying for licensure.
